I reaaaaally like that these cards not only give you clear starting points, but make each one practical and interesting. Would recommend to any creative person (I.e. everyone) 🌞

Recently finished Evil Eye and it was AMAZING! A beautifully written book about motherhood, culture, and the breaking of generational trauma.
Onto Miss Benson's Beetle - has anyone read this? Thoughts? I've read the first chapter so far and I've already had a jaw drop moment! Exciting!

Thing is, sometimes I want to sulk about something then God’ll do stuff like he did this morning: show me a goldfinch on my walk THEN — this one isn’t even fair — a newborn pony with its momma in a pasture by my home. So here I am feeling all full of joy when I wanted just a pair of minutes to sulk.

#BookWormSat 🕯️✨ The Fairy Coffins, discovered in 1836 in Edinburgh, are a mystery with no clear origin. Though dubbed “Fairy Coffins,” they aren’t linked to fairy rites. Early theories link them to witchcraft, particularly near Arthur’s Seat, known for witch gatherings. #FairyCoffins #StrangeThings

New read 📚
I love Sappho, and I own another book full of the fragments of her songs and poetry, but this book intrigues me as it's an attempt at giving her a biography of some kind through piecing together her words and the history of ancient greece/turkey/africa - It's so interesting!

Any recommendations for modern short story books? And/or fave EPs from indie artists?
I'm someone who's usually pretty into history/supernatural/fantasy/ghostly/spiritual/magical stuff, but I'm open to expanding that! Bring forth all the new things ✨️

Re-reading The Creative Act as, in classic neurodiverse fashion, I definitely forgot to finish it the first time around. I have this quote written in my journal now!

My fave read last year 🌻

"a rallying cry for a new and inclusive future. It's a journey of self-discovery that unearths the historical roots of modern mixed identity as we know it, braving to deconstruct the binaries we have inherited and the narratives we passively accept."

"World Field" was the lyric challenge today and I've never used this as a devising tool before...but it's actually brilliant! ✏️

I'm definitely navigating what being a mother and a songwriter/musician/producer and writer means at the moment. A sweet friend sent me the application to Mothers Write 2025 - the UK’s first songwriting camp specifically tailored for mothers in music. come on, adhd brain & apply!

very pleased that an article I wrote for The Everday Magazine during lockdown about Hauntology in music was referenced in this companion in 2023.
I'm still doing further work on this ✏️
